FORMULAE You may find the following formulae useful charge = current × time potential difference = current × resistance electrical power = current × potential difference energy transferred = current × potential difference × time speed = distance time change in velocity time taken a= (v − u ) t Q=I×t V=I×R P=I×V E=I×V×t
acceleration =
force = mass × acceleration weight = mass × gravitational field strength momentum = mass × velocity force = change in momentum time
F=m×a W=m×g P=m×v F= (mv − mu ) t
work done = force × distance moved in the direction of the force power = work done time taken
E=F×d P= E t
gravitational potential energy = mass × gravitational field strength × vertical height GPE = m × g × h kinetic energy = ½ × mass × velocity2
